- `InitializeRequest(NewPeriodStartDate: Date; NewPeriodLength: Text[30]; NewInThousands: Boolean)`: Initializes report parameters for programmatic execution with period configuration and display options. Sets starting date, period length formula, and thousands display option for automated budget report generation.
- `SetRoundingFactor(NewRoundingFactor: Enum "Analysis Rounding Factor")`: Sets the rounding factor for amount display formatting in the budget report. Controls precision level for budget amounts (ones, thousands, millions).
- `GetPeriodLength(): DateFormula`: Retrieves the configured period length formula for the budget report. Returns the DateFormula used to calculate period intervals for budget analysis.
- `GetPeriodStartDate(): Date`: Retrieves the starting date configured for the budget report period analysis. Returns the first period's starting date used in budget calculations.

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "report", object_name: "Budget")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
